Instagram couple slammed for ’risking their lives’ to take kissing photo

Mangalore Today News Network

Oct 15, 2019: These days, when it comes to social media, people are resorting to drastic measures to get likes.

Recently the Body Coach Joe Wicks came under fire for posing rather dangerously with his baby daughter on Instagram .

 

Similarly a pair of siblings caused controversy on YouTube when they filmed themselves kissing one another as part of a bizarre prank.

This week the drama revolves around a husband and wife who love to travel - and take jaw-dropping photos of their many trips around the world.

Jean and Camille from Brussels, who post on the account @Backpackdiariez, uploaded a photo from their visit to Sri Lanka.

 

The breathtaking shot shows the couple having a smooch while hanging out of a moving train, high above the ground.

It comes just weeks after two Portuguese Instagram stars were branded ’irresponsible’ and ’stupid’ for taking a very similar picture on the very same train.

Jean and Camille described the photo as one of their "wildest kisses" in the caption and say they felt that it was the best picture to reflect what they are really like as a couple, as they have "blind trust in each other, no matter what" and are "madly in love".

The photo has wracked up more than 38,000 likes so far with many commenting to say they are in awe of the shot.

Some thought the photo was "beautiful", "romantic" and "amazing", while others said it "inspired them to dream".

Despite this, there were those who didn’t approve of the ’dangerous’ stunt and slammed the couple for risking their lives and potentially encouraging others to do the same.

"Very stupid," commented one unimpressed user.

"This is how people die. Wouldn’t call this adventure, but stupid, risking life for likes on Instagram," said another.

A third added: "Hope you guys have a good life insurance plan."

"So dangerous," proclaimed a fourth.

This isn’t the first risky photo the couple have taken, with others on their Instagram showing them standing on top of high walls, sitting on the ledges of balconies and posing near the edge of waterfalls.
